    Are ALL navy veterans SEALs or just the ones I meet?

    He was probably a poser. ‘Cause all Bees are certified bad asses. I mean, c’mon, was John Wayne ever a SEAL? No. But he WAS a Seabee. /thread.

    Give these guys a break, not everyone can be a Seabee.

    Why are we not talking about the devastation in Western NC, TN, and other places?

    I'm outside of Hendersonville, about ~20 miles south of Asheville. It's pretty freaking terrible all over. On the plus side, I've stopped counting the number of Chinook flights I've seen ferrying supplies.

    does shipped mean you get the item?

    On a different (also gun related) forum I moderate, the rule is the deal is 'done' when a delivery confirmation is posted by the carrier. Tracking Number without a delivery confirmation, it's on the seller. Delivery confirmation, but there was a porch pirate or other issue, it's on the buyer.

    Home range, corrugated pipe, accuracy?

    Seems to me a $200 tax stamp and handful of muzzle devices/mounts would be a much better a solution.

    Great question. Not sure I have a good answer. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing is all.

    iOS or WIN10?

    So I've been using Strelok and KestrelLink on iOS forever. I picked up a Surface Pro today for work. I'm weighing pros\cons of a full Windows 10 system VS iOS for ballistics data in the filed\at the bench. Thoughts?

    Battery powered weed eater?

    I bought an 80v Kobalt chainsaw last weekend...I cut for nearly 2 hours on a single battery without missing a beat. That thing rocks. Light weight, quiet, cut at any angle without spilling fuel....I'm sold.

    Rifle Scopes Checking to see if my scope has enough adjustment for 1400 yards, please confirm my calculation thanks

    You provided everything needed to answer the question. He said in the OP that he needed 20Mil to get to 1,400. And provided the range of travel for his optic? Why blast him for not providing all of those details? They aren't actually relevant to the question.

    Rifle Scopes Checking to see if my scope has enough adjustment for 1400 yards, please confirm my calculation thanks

    You need to know how much of that elevation is 'used up' getting to your 100yd (or whatever) zero, then figure your required adjustment after zero. So...if you need ~8mil of adjustment to get to zero, then need +20Mil of adjustment to get to 1400, you need a total of 28Mil adjustment.

    Temperature Sensitivity or LabRadar vs Magnetospeed?

    I loaded a couple hundred rounds in a single session a few weeks ago. Same lot of powder, same box of bullets, all loaded at the same time, etc. I ran 5 rounds over my Magnetospeed at 59*F, DA last week. Average 2706fps. Today, same range, I ran 3 rounds past a LabRadar for 2686 FPS average...
